This is crazy news! And great! I was actually thinking earlier on today about how so many people on here wish that Bendis would move to DC, and just how impossible that would actually be. Then suddenly BOOM!
Romita Jr. and Bendis are both at DC now, which is pretty much a pipe dream say five years ago.
I guess this is what it took for Bendis to stop writing Ultimate Spider-Man. Well played.

I don’t have a clue which book they’ll stick him on, but for @davidm’s benefit, let us hope it’s the Legion of Superheroes.

I’m just wondering about Powers though. Is Icon still part of Marvel?.

It’ll just shift, Icon books are fully owned by the creators and various books have moved in an out. Casanova I think has gone Image-Icon-Image as Fraction moved in and out at Marvel. Criminal too started at Icon but is now an Image book (when any new stories come out).

I would be pretty certain Bendis has a clause to allow him to do creator owned work as long as it isn’t for Marvel, most of the other big creators seem to (Jason Aaron, Scott Snyder etc).

Bendis going to DC is something I did not see coming. Maybe they’d make him write a Shazam book?? Though, I have heard that he’s not so particular with continuity. I’m not sure how true it is but if it is, maybe it’d be better if he writes an Earth-One book or something that’s not in the main continuity.
